If Steve Jobs were still alive Russia would not have invaded Ukraine.
you need to be on macOS 12.3 for the update to be appear.
For a display everyone thinks is a terrible product…..they sure sold a ton of them and are out of stock everywhere.
Also all of the Cinema Displays had firmware that could be updated. I don’t remember if the first gen was available publicly or if it was just an internal service thing we had, but I know for sure the last iteration had a update…..for its built in camera…lol
I am happy to see a new Apple Display at what we expect to pay instead of one that costs as much as a Chevy Spark when kitted out.It’s a really well built monitor that has a really nice image. I’m guessing it’s just cool to hate anything Apple does now…

its the people that haven't bought them that are in this thread patting themselves on the back. shrugs. I was just thinking the other day how much I like mine. No issues updating.
I wonder if that firmware was going to help with the camera problem or just some other minor things.
Which issue with the camera? It’s a fantastic camera powered by the A13 bionic.
Bad quality? You’re looking wrong!!
Can we please remember how many horrific designs entered the market under Steve Jobs' reign at apple? I know this may sound like heresy to some, but even St. Jobs had a very much mixed track record.
i never had any problems with my monitors over the last fourty years and i never had to update them.
this display would drive me crazy

Stop it... Reasonable responses will not earn you any forum cred!

The camera on the Studio Display is problematic. Apple itself confirmed the issue and said a firmware fix was coming.
Apple Says Improvements to Studio Display's Webcam Coming in Software Update After Several Poor Reviews
The first reviews have surfaced for Apple's new Studio Display, and one common point among reviewers was that the built-in webcam's image quality ranges anywhere from an "old BlackBerry" to downright "awful" in their hands-on testing. The Studio Display features a 12-megapixel Ultra Wide front...

Shhhh.... Reminding people of the past is too painful for many.
The update is likely
The update is likely for the display's camera. Back when we had the standalone iSight camera which sat on top of the display, that had software updates as well.
MacRumors front page comment section is such a clown festival. 🤨
Apple Cinema Displays and Thunderbolt Displays also had firmware updates.
+1 here. Happened right out of the box. I got to see a picture on my new Studio Display for maybe 5 minutes while it was downloading the update, then the update failed and it went dark. Profoundly disappointing beyond words. HOWEVER I followed the instructions on Apple's website -- disconnected the TB cable at both ends, plugged it back in, waited -- and in about an hour the monitor attempted the install again. This time it was successful and it's been fine ever since. Overall I'm very pleased with the Studio Display, but that was the worst possible "Welcome to Apple" I could imagine.
Well we just need to compare it with the literal display it replaced. And it’s a downgrade in every aspect but 1, it looks a little nicer
It has a USB hub and a camera. Of course it can get updates.
This isn’t “Internet-connected”.
Funny thing is. The cost you would save if you bought the “older” display apple sold before they made this you could purchase a 4K camera to useThe camera on the Studio Display is problematic. Apple itself confirmed the issue and said a firmware fix was coming.
